"He Is" was serviced to Rhythmic radio and had a couple of radio edits done. I was mad at the time because I liked a few more songs on the album better. Maybe because of her pregnancy or the fact "Full Moon" (single) didn't do that well. It didn't do much. Brandy wasn't all that "Hot" after "What About Us". It did well but you could feel it should have done better back then. Then "Full Moon" under performed compared to what Brandy's last few things did on the charts etc. I love the album but Brandy was starting to fade then and perhaps the lack of promotion didn't help?? βFull Moonβ wasnβt promoted like the first 2 albums due to Brandyβs pregnancy and I think she has said that before. She was already pregnant when βWhat About Usβ came out and was 6 months when they shot the video for βFull Moonβ. She promoted WAU but βFull Moonβ (the song) wasnβt really promoted outside of having a music video. βHe Isβ wasnβt a bad song Iβm unsure at to why they decided not to push forward with the single release I think it would have peaked somewhere within the Top 40. The album cycle only lasted about 6 months with βFull Moonβ had it been promoted at least a year I think it would have sold another 500K depending on how the singles did

She was starting to decline. Her next album didn't do well or 1st single from it "Talk About Our Love" which came and went very quickly. It did "ok" because of the physical single release. I love Brandy but in my opinion her commercial decline started right after "What About Us/Full Moon" I guess it could have been just due to her pregnancy?

Let's not forget that back then the industry worked differently. Internet wasn't accessible at, like, every corner in the planet and promoting music depended a lot on going to radio shows, singing on TV, giving interviews, etc. If she couldn't/didn't want to do that then the project was pretty much doomed.

I agree. This era could have lasted longer with the right third single and more promotion. "Full Moon" is a great song but it was not really a "safe" single, nothing sounded like it. To me it did quite well as it has such a unique sound and it didn't sound that radio-friendly (and the lack of promotion didn't help either). And "What About Us" was a polarizing single that people either love or hate. Just look at how Monica was able to get another hit from After the Storm after flopping with "Knock Knock". A slow jam like "When You Touch Me" or even "Nothing" could have been her "U Should've Known Better" and help her album sales.
